  Eating in western restaurants can be a little confusing because they are a little different from eating in Chinese restaurants. If you understand that, you can have a more relaxing time because you won't be so worried about embarrassing yourself.

  When you first arrive at the restaurants you should wait for one of the restaurant staff to show you to a table. Sometimes it is OK to find a table for yourself but it's better to wait.

  In a western restaurant, each person generally orders their own food or dishes and eats. what they order. Western people don't usually put all of the food in the middle of the table and share unless they are eating pizza.

  One of the biggest differences between Chinese restaurants and western ones is the noise. Most western restaurants are quiet and people spear in quiet voices, they avoid shouting, especially to the staff.

  Both Chinese and western people love to drink with their food especially wine or beer. The difference is that usually there will only be one or two toasts during the meal. It is not necessary to toast each time you pick up your glass. When the bill at the end of the meal comes, most people like to divide the bill equally by the number of people eating. This is called “going Dutch”.

     I have been a friend of Bill Gates for a long time. I knew him when he was a student at Harvard
University. We were surprised when he left University to set up his own company "Microsoft" and make
his own software.
But he was the clever one! He is very good at writing computer languages and almost
all computers now use Microsoft software. The program "Word" is used from Britain to China!
     Of course he has made a lot of money and that makes people very jealous. They want to stop his success.
Even the government is against him and has tried to break his company into two parts. The government says
that it is unfair to other people who want to sell similar software. And what's more, because he fits his new
software free in every new computer, the government says he is stopping other companies from selling their
programs. This is not fair. Everyone should be able to do what they can to make their company bigger and
stronger. Bill Gates has only done what he can to stop other competitors.
     He is very rich, but he is generous. He has given millions of dollars to help the education and health of
many children around the world. You could not meet a better man than Bill Gates.
